Hundreds gathered in support of freedom of the press in Mexico alongside Tijuana journalists, as those in attendance remembered and marched in protest of the recent killings of reporter Lourdes Maldonado and photographer Margarito Martínez Esquivel to the offices of the nation’s general prosecutor on Tuesday, January 25, 2022. — Around the country in many simultaneous events in different cities, journalists joined countless in protesting what now have been three consecutive assassinations of members of the Mexican press in this month alone. Mexico remains the most dangerous place in the Western Hemisphere to do journalism, despite the government’s pledge to protect those who practice it. Some of the journalists murdered recently had been under a government protection program that many believe is insufficient and leaves reporters vulnerable to attacks and the possibility of being killed for doing their job. ••• #NiSilencioNiOlvido #NoSeMataLaVerdad #SinMasPeriodistasEnSusListas #PeriodismoEnRiesgo — #freedomoftheseas #tijuana #tijuanamexico #mexico #photojournalism #fotoperiodismo #documentaryphotography #everydaysocialjustice #everydayeverywhere #everydaylatinamerica #everydaymexico #everydaylafrontera #reportagespotlight (at Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/carlosamoreno86/p/CZLy1xArYCc/?utm_medium=tumblr

Oldie but goodie. My favorite experience of my entire life - a #royalcaribbean cruise on #freedomoftheseas with Abby, to celebrate Mother's Day in 2015. I was already starting to get sick, the earliest signs - weird blood pressure issues, nausea episodes, vertigo, stuff I assumed was due to stress, working too much, anxiety in my personal life, etc. This trip was this magical break of beautiful memories, and always glowed so much brighter because by fall, I was starting to be admitted for hospital stays regularly. . The next year, 2016, I was in the hospital in May. I begged the dr to let me go home in time for Mother's day. I'd been in the hospital in Seattle for weeks, and hadn't seen Abby that whole time, and missed her so damn hard. They finally decided that there wasn't much more they could do for me - I didn't go "home," I was too sick, and Abby and I had to move in with my mom for a few months - but it was close enough. I got to celebrate with them, and being able to hug and squeeze my baby was all I wanted. 🖤 . What a journey the last few years since then have been. Life is a weird one, right? . Happy Mother's day to all - I know it's a hard day for too many. The kiddos in my life who've lost their moms. The women who don't have momma to celebrate with for multiple reasons. The women who've lost children. Hugs and happy, healing, lovely vibes to all. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜 . #wabisabi #storyteller #lifeisastory #lifeiswhatyoumakeit #synchronicity #findingmyself #trustingtheuniverse #intuition #motherhood #chronicallyill #chronicillnesses #spoonie #spoonielife #spoonieproblems #chronicillness #chronicallyill #chronicillnesswarrior #spooniemom #butyoudontlooksick #mommahood #mommalife #momstruggles https://www.instagram.com/p/COqsNHfMjAO/?igshid=18ka57bo7rao9
